The Digital Living Network Association(DLNA) has recently published DLNA guidelines, called DLNA 4.0, that improve the media sharing experience of consumers in their homes. DLNA 4.0 enablesconsumers to easily share audio, video, and photo media among devices,including smart phones, smart TVs, and PCs. It also supports streaming and sharing of internet media within the home. DLNA 4.0 has major features to improve interoperability, so that deviceseasily share media without user intervention. These DLNA 4.0 features are especially important because of the large variety of new media formats whichconsumer devices are now using.

In addition, DLNA 4.0 enablesstate-of-the-art home networks. Energy efficiency is supported through the useof power state signaling. Also, IPV6 deployment models are now supported. In addition, reliability is improved because advanced diagnosticscapabilities are introduced to DLNA 4.0

This session will explain these advances in media sharing technology, and will answer questions about DLNA 4.0
